Mashup Score: 2Project MUSE - What Makes a Disorder 'Mental'? A Practical Treatment of Psychiatric Disorder - 3 month(s) ago
The titular question, of what makes a disorder ‘mental,’ has an obvious answer: mental disorders are disorders of the mind.1 Some have been so certain about this view that they have suggested revising the domain of psychiatry, or changing the status of psychiatry, in order to make psychiatry and its domain fit with their scientific or philosophical views of the mind.

Based on this analysis, Garson’s identifies the need to offer a positive account of mental illness—one that does not define the essence…

Fraud in biomedical research, though relatively uncommon, damages the scientific community by diminishing the integrity of the ecosystem and sending other scientists down fruitless paths. When exposed and publicized, fraud also reduces public respect for the research enterprise, which is required for its success. Although the human frailties that contribute to fraud are as old as our species, the response of the research community to allegations of fraud has dramatically changed. This is well illustrated

The coronavirus pandemic and the storming of the Capitol have created a perfect storm of conspiracism, especially visible on social media.
